Excellent news! One of those things that has been easy to ask for, but doubtless takes a while to get the right plumbing behind the scenes.

This is a good primer on Israel's political situation going into tomorrow's election. But I'd like to go deeper on something he only touches on, which is that part of the reason for Israel's electoral doldrums (and resulting geopolitical chaos) is its broken political system bsky.app/profile/avis...

I would be upset that the clocks going back seems to mean we’ll get an extra hour of rain, but we damn well need it. Maybe an extra month or so really.

We literally have the largest bike-touring event in the world which has been an annual summer state tradition for FIFTY YEARS. There's a giant exhibit in the state historical museum about it. This is comical.

Just catching up with this story. Turning Point UK came to my neighbourhood to “protect our kids” from drag queen storytellers at the Honor Oak pub. I don’t think people appreciate how much the English far right is tied up with Ulster Loyalism, and how dangerous this is in a time of polarisation.

Online marketplaces are enabling the purchase of dangerous and illegal products @marksuttonbike.bsky.social has done some characterisically excellent work this week highlighting the problem & offering advice www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/buy...

A deputy CISO absolutely has to know that fixing code is not the same as deploying code, and there's literally nothing happening in 18 months that is going to change that for 90% of the companies out there.

Just checked and of course, the last time there was a Commons vote on this back in 2018, Badenoch voted against the proposals to decant and get on with the restoration of the Palace of Westminster, as the cross-party joint commission had strongly recommended.

#DougFord knew that bike lanes improved traffic flow or at least didn't slow it down. Government staff told him so. So how much of municipal taxpayer money is he wasting pulling these out? His pet peeves are a burden on municipal property rates. #onpoli #Stupid www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...

Reducing enforcement on roads sadly has a predictable outcome.

there's a lot going on here, but I have to take a moment to appreciate that Tesla is at long last evolving into its final form: Disney he's not talking about a car, he's talking about an amusement park ride

The US government and its allies in the tech industry have very clearly been giving active aid to the Bolsonaro campaign during this year's campaign and other democracies need to wake up to the reality that America under Trump thinks nothing of interfering in other countries democracy.

This is what we do to a two-time Canadian paralympic swimmer, born with cerebral palsy. paralympic.ca/athlete/aly-... Congrats Toronto!

📢 Assembly Transport Committee looking at regulation of Dockless bikes this morning. We’ll be coming up with recommendations to TfL for how to regulate dockless bikes when they get their new powers so they work for London and all Londoners. Listen in from 10:00. 🔗 in post👇

2026 has likely finished with 85 days exceeding 25C at #London Heathrow Airport this is a staggering 25 days above next highest year, 2018. We've never known anything like it.

I did this last year, and am - er - happy to leave the field clear for others to claim glory. Looking forward to cheering it all on!

Personally, I’d rather have healthy kids than mollycoddled millionaires

Local roads into that brief, beautiful moment where some roadworks have finished, but not everyone knows yet, so the traffic is lower and the bus is speedy.

Again, stop conceding the talking points of the right. The description 'unvetted' comes up in right wing Facebook posts constantly. This really isn't about security checks. Have we 'vetted' masked men intimidating RNLI volunteers?

So the LibDems are talking about a big cut in fuel duty. This would mark a big growth in subsidies to motorists which would benefit the wealthy the most. They drive the most and drive the least fuel efficient cars.

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

“The group, which calls itself the Blade Runners, claims the sensors fitted to traffic lights are far more than simple pieces of traffic-management equipment.” Same name as the anti-ULEZ lot and yet more vandalism that destroys safe ways of crossing the road.

For those who are new, Joe DiGenova has spent the last 30 years baselessly accusing Democrats of committing crimes. If he is saying publicly the Trump administration pushed him out because he wouldn’t bring cases because there was no evidence, things are really bad.

Well at least we've heard the worst of this story oh wait the mob got into the hotel onto the floor the players were on and were knocking on bedroom doors. I think I'm moving to rage now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

At 13.5mm so far today, I reckon it’s the second rainiest day of the year in my south-east london garden. And lovely slow steady rain too. Gorgeous!

I recently saw some century-old election leaflets published in Yiddish for the Jewish electors of south Dublin. I imagine the same happened in the East End of London and parts of Manchester and Leeds, and the same sort of people objected to it as do now.

Absolutely - an underrated problem of all digital content services is that discovery is terrible, and curation, let alone recommendation of interesting stuff has died.

Indeed - and despite this, Capita keeps getting more government contracts: lordseyeview.substack.com/p/what-would...

Fingers crossed for a wet end to the year. 🤞

The government’s 10-year health plan for the NHS in England expects AI scribes to “liberate staff from their current burden of bureaucracy and administration, freeing up time to care and to focus on the patient”
